Re: I did it!

Linda I feel your pain. Tgis is my most critical year. I need to get five merits out of my Master Artist case to get my Masters in Nashville in January. I don't want four merits, I need five. I am so nervous but then again, it is now out of my control.

This year I submitted two cases. On in Open and of course, the other in Master Artist. I am very blas? about the Open case. I am just starting that journey towards my Master Photography degree so I have no concerns or expectations on that case. I am only worried about the MA case.

Re: I did it!

I need four merits to get my Masters. Four. Attainable? I'm not sure. I went four for four one year, don't have a loan print yet...I seriously hate everything I sent in this year because I've agonized too much! We shall see.

Re: I did it!

Linda,
For the last two years, I have been a nervous wreck after entering IPC. I would go back, look at the images...and see all sorts of things I should have done.
This year though, I entered my images, and after I clicked the submit button, I closed up the folder where my images are, and haven't been back to them since. I'm doing well with keeping my mind off of it, even though it is difficult.

By the way, I'll be at IPC, and I know at that point, I'll be a nervous wreck, unless Rick M. can help keep my mind occupied with helping on the print crew. Otherwise, I'm going to be glued to the rooms where Portraits are being judged.

About that, I had noticed this year, I could only enter my images as Portraits. I thought in years past, I could enter them as Illustration. Did something change?

Re: I did it!

As soon as I pressed submit I went to look at the images again and immediately saw that I needed to do some dodging and burning on some highlights on one image and noticed that the border lines around another image looked off a pixel or two. My hindsight is 20/20 at least.
I think I entered 3 that were Illustration and one commercial
